Most Filling Day

21million

Hello,

I am starting up tomorrow and was looking for some of your most filling days or meals that really satisfy you (preferably 1200-1800 calorie range). Thank you!

Whole, unprocessed foods are more filling. Also, I'm starting to go with regular yogurt because it's more filling than non-fat with all the extra sugar. Healthy fats are filling- nuts, seeds, etc as well as high fiber fruits and vegetables.

Protein, nuts, butters (peanut, almond), veggies, hummus.

You are lucky that hummus, nuts and butters work for you. For me they don't. They are high in calories and by the time I am satiated, I've eaten too many calories. Super healthy though.

Filling lunch and dinners: Split pea soup with turkey ham and carrots, chicken chili, oatmeal with a whole apple cut up a little brown sugar and cinnamon, chicken soup with veggies (butternut squash, cauliflower, carrots, celery), egg plant pomadoro (roast eggplant on high heat with olive oil), serve with chicken sausage and Pastene spaghetti sauce, eye round with sweet potato and broccoli, chicken teriyaki over broccoli slaw, pan seared salmon over wilted spinach, drizzled with balsamic crème. Breakfast: banana ad hard boiled egg, Greek yogurt with frozen raspberries and Stevia (my favorite).

Pretty much anything with fiber will hold me for a long time. Red meat, but I generally avoid that.

Focus on your protein, dietary fat, and fiber.

For me the most filling stuff for low calories...

Oatmeal with nut butter (one serving of each)
low cal/high fiber wrap with egg, ham and cheese and an apple
light tuna with baby carrots (even better with a low cal wrap)

You have to find what works for you, for me it's pretty always some fiber with some protein or fat. As a snack, Greek yogurt with fruit will keep me full for a while as well. But I really need the fiber/carbs - just eggs and bacon would never do, for example, I'd need some whole grain toast or bagel on the side with it.

For me, it tends to be things like lean chicken/turkey/beef, lots of vegetables, potatoes/sweet potatoes, apples, skinny popcorn, cheese, Gree yoghurt, cottage cheese and hard boiled eggs. I find those foods pretty filling when combined. I also find intermittent fasting helps with feeling full while on a deficit though this is not suited to everyone.
